evaluation of hypoglycemic activity of inflorescence of borassus flabellifer extract in male wistar rats has been investigated. antidiabetic potentials were studies by the orally administration of plant extract at the doses of 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg in streptozocin-induced diabetic male wistar rats. treatment of streptozocin-induced diabetic male wistar rats with the extracts caused a significa...

To clarify the strain differences in the morphology of the rat kidneys, we investigated the morphometrical characteristics of the kidneys of Slc:Wistar, Slc:SD, and F344/NSlc rats. The diameter of the renal corpuscles in female F344/N rats is smaller than that in female Wistar rats. Although sex differences (males>females) were shown in SD and F344/N rats, no effects of castration were detected...

ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide secreted by the stomach. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three weeks of endurance training on plasma and fundus ghrelin as well as growth hormone (gh), cortisol hormone and weight in male wistar rats. 20 male wistar rats (14–16 weeks old) were randomly assigned to control (n =10) and training (n=10) groups. the rats in the training group e...

objective: hypercholesterolemia is the greatest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. the present study is conducted to evaluate the lipid lowering activity of leaves and fruits of solanum macrocarpon, a vegetable, on wistar rats experimentally rendered hypercholesterolemic by triton x-100. materials and methods: the leaves and fruits were administered (p.o.) for 7 days to rats at doses of 4...

Agonistic behavior of rats of the Wistar and WEzob strain was compared. Two male rats of the same strain or two male-female pairs of the same strain were confronted with each other for a period of one hour. Individuals and pairs were unknown to each other. In the week before the pairs or the single males were placed in the two compartments of a box. By removing a separating panel, encounters co...

The present study is a contribution to the enhancement of Ivorian traditional medicine, by carrying out bio-tolerance tests an aqueous extract aerial parts Crotalaria retusa (EACr) in mice and rats according guidelines Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) 423 407, respectively. doses 2000 5000 mg/kg body weight (BW) were used acute toxicity. For subacute toxicity which last...

This research was purposely to study and determine the physicochemical characteristics, sensory hypocholesterolemic effects of purple sweet potato bread made from flour, starch, fiber-rich flour starch processing waste on white male species Wistar rats conducted in vivo. used a non-factorial randomized block design model with treatment 100% standard feed, 25% mixture bread, combination 50% heal...
